Emphasizes modern understanding of the changing geography and environments of the earth's crust -- the outermost skin of rock in which the panorama of earth history is most clearly recorded. The treatment is chronological, beginning with our planet's origin at the birth of the solar system almost 5 billion years ago, and ending with the rise of modern humanity amid the fluctuating glacial climates of the last few hundred thousand years.

"This volume contains a comprehensive, worldwide history of seismological studies of the Earth's crust using controlled sources from 1850 to 2005. Essentially all major seismic projects on land and the most important oceanic projects are covered. The time period 1850 to 1939 is presented as a general synthesis, and from 1940 onward the history and results are presented in separate chapters for each decade, with the material organized by geographical region. Each chapter highlights the major advances achieved during that decade in terms of data acquisition, processing technology, and interpretation methods. For all major seismic projects, the authors provide specific details on field observations, interpreted crustal cross sections, and key references. They conclude with global and continental-scale maps of all field measurements and interpreted Moho contours. An accompanying DVD contains important out-of-print publications and an extensive collection of controlled-source data, location maps, and crustal cross sections."--Publisher's description.
